10 Roundup: Craveworthy Clear Objects of Affection
I'm excited to present a post from one of our favorite sites, Shelterpop! Next time you spy a must-have Lucite table in a magazine, you'll know where to find it: Here are three shops that specialize in all things Lucite.Acrylic furniture is an easy way to punch up a boring room. Not only does it bring a hint of modern to a staid space, it adds an artsy feel too. Whether it's called Perspex, Read more
I've said it before and I'll say it again, any room with a Louis Ghost Chair gets bonus points in my book. The Lucite love I feel doesn't end with this dreamy tuffet, either. As the Lucite and acrylic trend keeps growing, so does my wish list for the simple items. From nesting tables and chairs to magazine organizers and ice buckets, I just can't get enough. The contemporary clear Read more
New York-based event planning and design firm Fête will soon debut the first product in its home design line, a mirrored plexiglass candle holder, and sent me one to review. The Mirror Box ($56) has a rectangular acrylic base and mirrored plexiglass sides, which are designed to reflect the flame of tealights lit inside (it comes with 10). When lit, the candles reflect off of the mirrored sides, Read more
You know that anything Lucite catches my eye, so it should come as no surprise that I'm digging this Gracious Home Lucite Fold-Away Chair ($54.99, reduced from $129.99). It's ideal for those of you living in a small space, such as a studio, as it folds away for easy storage, and when it's in use, its visual footprint is light as well. For those of you who entertain often, it's always smart to Read more
A recent photo of the London Eye Ferris wheel enveloped in morning mist inspired me to look into some home items that evoked a similar ghostly feel. While the Ferris Wheel Linoleum Block Print ($20) is a literal interpretation of this image, I've also rounded up quite a few home items that take a broader interpretation of its ghost-like feel. To see my foggy, ghostly home picks, read more Read more
I just got an email introducing me to a shop called Spectrum West that sells "post modern acrylic furniture and accessories for the modern home decor enthusiast." As you know, I'm an enthusiast of both acrylic furniture and modern décor, so it sounded right up my alley. Spectrum West is a new venture by Spectrum Limited, a company that's been manufacturing high quality acrylic furniture for 25 Read more
Much like the Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair, the Aaron R. Thomas Acrylic Lounge Chair ($1,480) takes a modern twist on a design classic by re-envisioning it in acrylic. In this case, the classic is the Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1946. Maybe classic-gone-acrylic's been done before by Starck, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go to great lengths to seat Read more
For the next round of this game, look at each of the acrylic tables in figure A and B and guess which one is more expensive. In each case, one of the tables was designed by one of our Designer Spotlights, and the other is a (very good) knock-off. Take the Quiz Read more
Aaron R. Thomas's Acrylic Christmas Trees are back this year due to popular demand. It's the most retro holiday "tree" I've seen yet, but it's certainly not as festive as the Unica Home Bottle Brush Tree. It looks great decked with monochrome silver ornaments, but I don't think it really stands on its own. So be prepared for some quality tree-trimming time. The tree is available in both 3' Read more
After coming across a game by Amanda-La, I was inspired to create "Less or More." Look at each of the graphic-patterned acrylic tables below and guess which one is more expensive. Take the Quiz Read more
